Plot
A congresswoman visits postwar Berlin.
Sinekatalog’s take
Billy Wilder's satire of postwar Berlin sends Jean Arthur's prim congresswoman among black marketeers and Marlene Dietrich's cabaret singer. Sharp, cynical and funny, it captures a ruined city with mischief.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
